“Insurance is such a
rewarding career. It’s easy to love what you do when it’s focused on
helping people,” said Derek Barnes, President of D&D Insurance. “It
was obvious from our first interaction with Integrity that they too are
all about helping customers, agents and partners, which makes this the
ideal partnership for us. We couldn’t ask for a better opportunity to
secure our legacy and take care of our employees who are key to what we
do. I’m so proud that D&D Insurance is partnering with Integrity — we
can’t wait to serve more Americans together.”

everyone,” shared Denise Barnes, Vice President of D&D Insurance.
“Integrity operates the same way to grow its business and truly values
the same things we do. Offloading our back-office responsibilities will
free us up to focus on what matters most: ensuring more Americans have
the coverage they need. I couldn’t be more excited for what the future
will bring with Integrity, as I know it’s only going to get better.”
